What happens during an ADHD assessment?

Your assessment is carried out by a clinician who is experienced in assessing ADHD.  

Why do we ask so many questions? 

ADHD affects people in different ways. We need to ask questions to build a full picture of your experiences.  This helps us understand if ADHD is the most appropriate explanation for your difficulties.

What will we ask about? 

We may ask you questions and discuss your: 

  • Current difficulties 
  • Childhood experiences 
  • Education and employment 
  • Relationships and daily life 
  • Physical and mental health 
  • Family history 
  • Previous assessments or support received  

Can I bring evidence? 

Yes. School reports or information from somebody who knew you during childhood can be helpful.
